Since you smoke 20 to 25 cigarettes daily, a combination approach is often most effective. First, Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) helps ease withdrawal. You can combine long-acting nicotine patches with short-acting options like nicotine gum, lozenges, or inhalers. Second, prescription non-nicotine medications are highly effective; varenicline helps block nicotine's rewarding effects, and bupropion reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms. I highly recommend discussing these options with your doctor to create a safe, personalised quitting plan that fits your health profile. You can do this!
